Obamacare much more expensive to the middle class than originally stated, now, the Obama administration to impose MORE regulations on gasoline that will drive the cost up. Why does he hate the middle class so much?

New regulations to be announced by the Environmental Protection Agency
Friday are set to push the already-high price of gas up by a further 9
cents a gallon, petroleum industry experts are warning.

“There is a tsunami of federal regulations coming out of the EPA that
could put upward pressure on gasoline prices. EPA’s proposed fuel
regulations are the latest example,” Bob Greco, director of the American
Petroleum Institute Downstream Group, told Newsmax.

The regulations, aimed at reducing the amount of sulfur emissions, will
add as much as 9 cents, according to industry experts, although the
administration insisted the cost at the pump would be lower.

The Washington Post quoted a senior administration official saying the
new standards would cost less than a penny a gallon and have the same
environmental impact as taking 33 million cars off the road.

Congressional Republicans lashed out at the new regulations.

“The Obama administration cannot be more out of touch,” GOP Rep. Ed
Whitfield of Kentucky, chairman of a House Energy subcommittee, told
Newsmax. “With hard-pressed families already struggling to afford each
fill-up, Congress needs to take a hard look at any new EPA regulation
that may raise the price at the pump.

“This is just another example of an overzealous EPA,” Whitfield said.

The EPA says the rules are needed because high sulfur content reduces
the effectiveness of catalytic converters, causing more emissions to be
released into the air.

The EPA rule will force 49 states to follow regulations already in place
in California that set stricter standards on gasoline’s sulfur content.
Currently, states can have 30 parts of sulfur per million, but the new
rules will lower it further to 10 parts.

The industry has already cut sulfur content by 90 percent in recent
years, from 300 parts per million to 30 parts, at a cost of $10 billion,
Charles Drevna, president of the American Fuel and Petrochemical
Manufacturers, told The New York Times.

The new rules would cost another $10 billion, Drevna claimed.

The Petroleum Institute’s Greco told Newsmax, “Our government should not
be adding unnecessary regulations that raise manufacturing costs,
especially when there are no proven environmental benefits.

“We should not pile on new regulations when existing regulations are working,” he added.

Greco said the new rules would increase greenhouse gas emissions because of the “energy-intensive equipment required to comply.”

Republican House Energy Committee Chairman Fred Upton of Michigan said
the move was another example of the Obama administration’s misguided
energy policy.

“Instead of raising gas prices, the Obama administration should focus on
bringing stability and greater supplies to our energy markets by
green-lighting projects like the Keystone XL pipeline, which will bring
approximately 1 million barrels per day of oil from a close ally to the
United States,” Upton told Newsmax.

You're not doing to well yourselves. Might be time to stop all expenses to ex presidents and politicians seeing they are millionaires. You'd thing they would offer, the greedy arses, so much for caring about their country.

And until the present day, people still came to the United States from all those countries you show to get health care they couldn't get in their home countries. Now we have slid down to where they are all at.

I'm very sorry about that, Mary. There's a ton of alternative and holistic stuff on the net that kills cancer. I can tell you that Carnivora has something to it. I got that for me along with the lymph drain. My German Shepard developed a tumor that was about the size of a soccer ball so I decided to try it on him. I was too late and had to put him down which totally sucked, but within 4 days, the tumor was redused to about 1/5 the size.

Thank you John, he has prostrate cancer. He has another biopsy tomorrow to make sure it hasn't spread. He is in great spirits. He gets his prostrate out on 30th. That's amazing about that tumor. If you don't mind I'll PM you. Thanks

Honestly, why does either side hate the middle class so much? The republicans take from the middle class to give to rich and Democrats take from the middle class and give to the poor. For Obama he was rich before he became president doubt he will hard off afterward.

Both political parties are run by the rich 1%. Neither party is for the average Joe. When people finally get that through their heads, they will see the fatal mistake they made by allowing an elite fraud to become president. The problem is when that reality finally hits home, it will be too late to do anything about it.

We knew this prior to the politicians passing the bill without reading it. The progressives did not want affordable health care, they want to limit what health care we get, and to make it more expensive, that was their goal
